2015, this is the first year of preparation. It starts with Japan and the old United States competing in a test of technology and wit. As the world watches on, countries begin their own mech engineering programs in hopes of a new future. The first fight stumbles along but sets a new precedent. The Earth has seen the new war and the new peace. Instead of having wars, a "Gundam Fight" is held every four years, where a representative will pilot a Mobile Fighter and compete with other Gundams until only one is left. The winning country is allowed to rule the Earth for four years until the next Gundam Fight.
